City Council considers speed cameras on Roosevelt Blvd.: Katherine Scott reports on Action News at 4 a.m., May 16, 2019

The 12-lane divided highway is known as one of the most dangerous roads in the country, with PennDOT reporting that between 2013 and 2017, 139 people were killed or seriously injured and nearly 2,700 crashes were reported.

"It definitely would help slow traffic down because people drive at dangerous rates of speed and they start to lose control of their car," said Timothy Rawles of Cheltenham.

If approved, there would likely be seven to 11 locations for cameras. Signs would be posted to warn drivers.

"I don't think it's going to change anything," said George Smith of South Philadelphia. "I think it's just going to make more traffic. No one actually travels the speed limit. They either go over it or below it."

We’re talking about installing speed cameras along Roosevelt Blvd. The bill could pass City Council as early as today. Do you think they would help make Roosevelt Blvd safer? Weigh in!
